an ordinary, simple life

posted in Uncategorized on July 31, 2024 by Brian

do your work, then quietly step back

 

 When there is

a pleasant state, there is

an unpleasant state in contrast.

When there is a good situation, there

is one that is not good to replace it.

Only an ordinary, simple life

is a comfortable

nest.

 

Huanchu Daoren

back to beginnings

 

remaining ordinary, foregoing airs

perfection on four paws

 

Do

you wish

to realize the Way?

Dissolve everything instantly,

like a drop of water

hitting a red-hot

coal.

 

Forget

thoughts and

feelings and ideas of self.

Remaining ordinary, foregoing airs,

persevering in simplicity for years

and decades, you enter

into the Oneness,

and it into

you.

 

Wei wu Wei Ching, Chapter 47
